Listing: Sandbox MMOs

While everyone has a specific type of MMORPG or MMO they like, there are people who also want "Infinite" Possibilities via sandboxing. Only truly way to do this though is to make your own MMORPG yourself via Engines provided all over the Internet. (We also still have yet to see the true potential of the new Unreal Engine 4.) But for those of us not graced with programming knowledge, or don't even know where or how to start (Blender for Modeling?) This thread aims to tell users what there is in Sandbox MMO/RPGs. Currently the list is likely incomplete, or never will be, and people can contribute to the list by replying below this thread opener.

It has the same elements as Eve online when it comes to making your own decisions that will affect whatever is going on. Look up the introduction vids on youtube for that, and in the meantime look up the ones for EVE, that will enlighten you.

Decision making isn't really "Sandbox" =/ If you find any in my list that have only that, tell me, and I'll remove it.

Sandbox is when you can actually change the land and others can see that, like with minecraft.

So basically there are infinite amount of warps / starports / planetary systems / etc. to harvest / go to? Or people have to make them? Can people destroy said star ports by attacking them? I've seen some gameplay, but I'm not convinced yet. (I didn't really listen to them though, I'd rather see the actual sandbox stuff visually, not "heard" via voice or text.)

I put Garry's mod and Terraria on the list, but added asterisks next to them as I have not found dedicated servers (As in, like remotely hosted minecraft servers are) for them.

Nothing is unlimited but might as well be there is so much stuff in EVE and yeh people can construct stuff and it can be hijacked and destoroyed. It's a sandbox, it's just set in space so it doesn't seem like it.

edit: oops!! its on the list!
hmm.. i guess almost every game has some elements of a sandbox game. rtses allow you to change the existence of an enemy on the field in a great many ways. peronally i prefer gameplay over sandbox qualities in the same way that i don't want to have to study everything in the world, just the bits that i like studying.
